Good for you Firedog. Yours is a good reason to take the MSF. Me, I took the course because I considered it my first step toward being the best motorcyclist that I can be, but I see your point. However, I do not know that the majority of riders would continue to take the course if it were noticeably harder than the DMV tests. Maybe I'm just a cynic.

tlwisner, I'm with you. I think an effort on both the DMV and the MSF is needed to improve the curriculum overall.

I find it interesting that we were well into the thread before we acknowledged the fact that the DMV in many locations does NOT make it too hard to get a motorcycle license. If we are critical of the MSF, maybe we should cast the same eye towards those running our local DMV's.
